Suddenly.

The area of water under Xu Que's feet stopped flowing. Seeing this scene, his pupils contracted, and his eyebrows slightly raised.

What's going on?

Why has the Water of Time stopped flowing?

However, the water stopping its flow didn't affect Xu Que's walking. He lifted his head and walked towards the silhouette.

Duan Jiude noticed something was amiss too, but he didn't dare ask further. He just followed the Gang Leader cautiously, step by step.

As they got closer, Xu Que halted his steps, examining the figure.

....

Dressed in a simple, plain white robe, his features sharp and sword-like. Just like Xu Que, he was standing on the Water of Time without the aid of the Wood of Time.

Then, Xu Que's brows furrowed slightly as he began assessing the man's cultivation.

What?

Ascension Realm??

How could someone with such a weak realm stand on the River of Time?

Xu Que almost forgot there was such a realm. In his eyes, it was far too weak, far too weak.

Standing behind Xu Que, Duan Jiude saw that this man, like the Gang Leader, was also effortlessly standing on the Water of Time. Could his strength be on par with the Gang Leader?!

For so many years, ever since the Gang Leader became invincible three thousand years ago, he hadn't seen anyone match the Gang Leader's power, not one.

The most astonishing thing was, this man appeared really young!

...

No matter how Xu Que observed, he couldn't discern the man's true cultivation level, just appearing to be Ascension Realm from the outside!

Is the method of hiding one's cultivation this advanced?

While Xu Que was sizing up Su Mu, Su Mu was also assessing the two individuals.

What surprised Su Mu was that he couldn't see through the cultivation levels of these two people either, especially the black-robed man leading them, who seemed like an abyss, bottomless.

The leading man's black robe was embroidered with three scraggly gold characters: "Heaven-Bombing Gang."

Heaven-Bombing Gang, what a grand name!

Nonetheless, no matter how strong he is, he still has to pay the crossing toll. Even if the Jade Emperor came, he would have to pay the passage fee. That's the rule!

"Who are you?"

Xu Que first asked Su Mu.

"That question, I should be asking you instead."

"Who are you?"

Su Mu didn't answer, but asked back.

"Heaven-Bombing Gang, Xu Que."

Xu Que stared at Su Mu and said, word by word.

"Oh."

"Who I am is not important. You just need to know that I am the River Guardian here. If you want to cross, you need to pay the toll."

Su Mu didn't care if it was the Heaven-Bombing Gang or Earth's Bombing Gang; the toll was a firm rule.

"Pay the crossing toll?"

Xu Que wondered if he had heard wrong.

Speaking of passage fees, he was very familiar. He had always been the one to rob others. This was his first time being robbed!

Duan Jiude was also stunned.

What??!

Robbing the Gang Leader?!

The Heaven-Bombing Gang had always been the one robbing others, and now they were being robbed?!

What an unexpected turn of events!

.....

"Hahahahaha"

Xu Que suddenly burst into laughter.

Hearing this laughter, Duan Jiude knew that this man in front of them was in trouble. He could clearly feel the Gang Leader's rage.

Hearing the sudden laughter from the black-robed man, Su Mu looked bewildered.

This guy, does he have a screw loose?

"Interesting, interesting."

"So tell me, what's your toll charge then?"

Xu Que suddenly took an interest and decided to play along with the young man in front of him. After all, he had been invincible for so many years, encountering something this amusing for the first time.

Robbing on the River of Time—this was a path Xu Que had never imagined.

His Heaven-Bombing Gang had robbed the heavens above and the earth below, everywhere, but the River of Time was a domain he hadn't breached due to his current limitations.

"Three treasures."

The original price was one, but since this person was a bit arrogant, it was increased by two for a little lesson.

"Oh right, adding in him, it's a total of six items."

Su Mu pointed to Duan Jiude standing behind Xu Que.

"Six items, is it?"

Xu Que waved his large hand, and six streams of light shot out from his sleeve towards Su Mu.

Upon seeing this, Su Mu's pupils contracted. He caught them and carefully examined them. Indeed, they were six decent treasures, so he accepted them.

Seeing Su Mu actually dared to accept, Xu Que smiled, with his hands clasped behind his back.

"Alright, you guys can pass now."

Su Mu was an honest man. More or less was more or less, ready to make way for them.

Seeing this, Xu Que reached out his hand and said: "Wait."

"I've given mine to you, now it's your turn."

Hearing this, Su Mu was puzzled, what does he mean, my turn?

....

"Since you dare to rob here, why wouldn't I dare?"

"How about this? Let me state my terms."

"My terms are a hundred items. You give me a hundred treasures that I like, each no less than the six I just gave you."

Xu Que stood with arms crossed over his chest, with an amused look in his eyes, enunciating each word slowly.

Hearing this.

Duan Jiude, sensing the tense atmosphere, involuntarily swallowed and stepped several steps aside, afraid of being implicated.

This level of battle, he was of no help at all. In other places, he would definitely stay far away, lest he get caught in a large-area attack and die.

But now, being on the River of Time, he couldn't get far, leaving him somewhat worried. Not that he worried the Gang Leader couldn't win, but rather that the Gang Leader might overdo it and accidentally hit him too...

This wasn't unheard of.

Once, when the Gang Leader was in danger and he brought reinforcements, the crazed Gang Leader ended up beating their entire group, leaving them bedridden for a month.

.....

Hearing this, Su Mu raised an eyebrow, looking at Xu Que in surprise.

He'd been collecting passage fees here for over half a year, but this was the first time he was being "robbed" in return, catching Su Mu a bit off guard.

He too was amused by Xu Que's words.

Then he chuckled, "What, you're trying to take my job?"

Binding himself with the River Guardian System, Su Mu's duty was to maintain order at this river.

"No, no, no. My Heaven-Bombing Gang does the same thing. It's just that I'm planning to expand the business a bit, so unfortunately, you have to scram."

"That's your house, right?"

Xu Que pointed to a stone house on the riverbank not far away: "Now it's mine. Get lost."

Throughout, he wore an amused smile, not taking Su Mu seriously at all.

Hearing this, Su Mu's expression turned cold.

Suddenly, dots of Immortal Light emerged from Xu Que's body, and his aura started soaring, but since they were on the River of Time, he had to restrain himself somewhat.

After all, with the Path of Time he mastered, he couldn't unleash battles freely on the River of Time yet, but dealing with this young fool should be more than sufficient.

Watching this, Su Mu too began channeling his Cultivation Technique, with swirling green Spiritual Power and rising aura.

Surprised by Su Mu's aura, Xu Que was taken aback.

Why is it still this weak?

How then is he standing on the River of Time?

The next second, three droplets of water shot out from his sleeve towards Su Mu.

These weren't ordinary water drops; they were the Three Realms. On the River of Time, Xu Que had to make use of them. Utilizing the Three Realms for an attack was the strongest strike he could muster here!

At this moment, Duan Jiude from not far away also widened his eyes.

Using the Three Realms to attack, only the invincible Gang Leader could do this!

The three Water of Time droplets were about to hit Su Mu, yet he saw Su Mu standing still, showing no intention to dodge.

Hmm?

Is this guy an idiot?

Why isn't he dodging?
